NVIDIA delays RTX 60: release not expected before late 2027

Many gamers expected major hardware announcements from NVIDIA at CES 2026, but the company did not present new gaming graphics cards and instead focused on software innovations. Later, well-known insider kopite7kimi reported that the RTX 60 lineup may only be released in the second half of 2027.

According to his information, RTX 60 graphics cards will be based on the new Rubin architecture and will use GPUs with the GR20x naming. Previously, Rubin was believed to be designed primarily for data centers and AI workloads, where it is expected to replace the Blackwell architecture. Using Rubin for gaming GPUs as well appears to be a logical continuation of the company’s strategy.

It is also assumed that the new architecture will significantly increase performance, especially in tasks related to generative neural networks. However, postponing new gaming GPUs indicates that NVIDIA is shifting its focus toward more profitable data-center solutions. Most high-speed memory chips are being redirected to AI systems, which may negatively affect gamers planning to upgrade their PCs in the coming years.
